Do you want to see what Santa Claus does in the off-season?  Would you like to help build toys for kids all over the world?

Come do both at CrossFit Mount Olympus next Saturday, 28 August from 8-11am for a workout and breakfast to benefit Tiny Tim's Foundation for Kids 

We will open CrossFit Mount Olympus to everyone and ask in return that you donate to Tiny Tim's Foundation for Kids, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization built around the dream of bringing a smile to as many children’s faces as possible. 

Tiny Tim’s is one of the last truly non-profit organizations. Nobody draws a salary from the charity. Every dollar donated is directed toward those who matter most, the children.

About Tiny Tim's Foundation for Kids

What is the price of a smile? That is a question that Alton Thacker, the man who started Tiny Tim’s Foundation for Kids, often asks people when they wonder why he founded this charity in 1996.

When a child plays with a toy, it sparks their imagination. They learn to think for themselves. They begin to explore the possibilities around them. Unfortunately, there are 500 million children around the world who have never had a toy; those children most likely never will have a toy. Tiny Tim's Foundation for Kids believes that those 500 million children deserve a reason to smile.

That is why Tiny Tim’s Foundation for Kids builds and delivers 36,000 toys every year to needy children around the globe. These toys have been delivered to many countries including; Iraq, Afghanistan, Ghana, Thailand, Korea, Russia, Mexico, Brazil, the Dominican Republic and needy children inside the United States. They are also sent to hospitals where patients can play with and keep them; including Primary Children’s and Shriner’s hospitals. Wherever they have been sent, the same story returns. They bring smiles to the children’s faces and cultural, linguistic, and social barriers fade away.
